Savor Greenwich Village Views

Locals refer to downtown’s Greenwich Village neighborhood as simply “the Village,” and it more than earns that homey-sounding moniker. The area’s low-rise row houses, charmingly angled side streets and pedigree as a creative center make it a human-size enclave within bigger-than-life New York City. In this gallery, photographer Elizabeth Bick surveys the Village’s most striking sights—including the Washington Square Arch, the famed West 4th Street Courts and the 19th-century carriage houses on Downing Street—and the details of life on its sidewalks.
